===============
1) Introduction
===============

Netrek is a well known real-time strategy game inspired to Star Trek.

======
2) Bug
======

The Vanilla server is affected by a format string vulnerability caused
by the calling of the pmessage2() function without the needed format
argument.

The bug is located in new_warning() and can be exploitated through the
locking of a player (the same attacker too) who is using a malformed
nickname.

Note that the EVENTLOG switch must be enabled for exploiting this
vulnerability (default is disabled).

from ntserv/warning.c:

void new_warning(int index, const char *fmt, ...) {

 char temp[150];

 va_list args;
 va_start(args, fmt);

 vsprintf(temp, fmt, args);

 ...

 if (eventlog) {

   char from_str[9]="WRN->\0\0\0";

   strcat(from_str, me->p_mapchars);
   pmessage2(0, 0, from_str, me->p_no, temp);
 }
